Marhaba! I’m Fatma, a native Egyptian with a passion for helping non-Arabic speakers confidently navigate the Egyptian dialect – the most widely understood and beloved dialect across the Arab world.

By academic background, I hold a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, and I’ve spent my entire career in healthcare management. While I’m not a career teacher, that’s exactly what makes my tutoring approach different.

Why learn with me?

Real-world, practical Arabic: Living and working in Dubai’s multinational environment taught me how to communicate clearly, simplify complex ideas, and adapt to learners from all backgrounds. I’ll teach you the Egyptian dialect the way it’s actually spoken – on the street, in a taxi, at a café, or at the doctor’s office.

Who is this for?

Foreigners living in Egypt – whether you’re studying, working for an NGO, running a business, or simply married into an Egyptian family. No prior Arabic knowledge is needed. We start from “izayyak?” (how are you?) and go from there.

What you’ll learn:

· Essential greetings, numbers, and daily expressions
· Ordering food, shopping, and bargaining like a local
· Polite vs. casual speech (and when to use each)
· Listening to real Egyptian music and TV clips
· Survival phrases for hospitals and pharmacies.
Let’s turn “Egyptian Arabic” from intimidating into fun and useful.

Ma’a el salama,
Fatma

I use Communicative Language Teaching. It is defined as an approach to teaching English as a foreign language that focuses on learners' interaction. Interaction here means an activist role in the learning process. Therefore, I use discourse language, set the social context, build communicative interaction, and train students on the use of the appropriate language in context.
I have MA in second language acquisition from the AUC (the American University in Cairo). I have got most of my teaching experience from working at Middlebury College in Vermont USA


The Communicative Approach, or Communicative Language Teaching, is considered the most important language teaching curriculum and is an umbrella that includes a large number of teaching practices. The primary goal of this approach is to develop the learner’s ability to communicate in the English language in real situations and not to develop theoretical knowledge of language grammar. The goal is The most important thing is to gain communicative competence

I use communicative language teaching. It is done through learners’ interaction. Interaction here means an active role in the learning process.

Learn Egyptian Arabic, or Sharpen What You Already Know

If you're looking to practice your existing Egyptian Arabic or start learning it from scratch, this is for you.

Egyptian Arabic is the most widely understood dialect in the Arab world. It's the language of films, music, television, and everyday conversation from Cairo to Casablanca, which means learning it opens doors far beyond Egypt's borders. But textbooks rarely teach the version people actually speak, and that gap is where most learners get stuck.

That's what this is built to fix.

Who this is for:

Complete beginners who want to start with the dialect people actually use, not a formal register they'll never hear on the street
Heritage speakers who understand more than they can say and want to close that gap
Students of Modern Standard Arabic looking to make the jump to real conversation
Anyone living in, moving to, or frequently visiting Egypt who wants to stop relying on English
Learners who can already hold a basic conversation but want to sound natural rather than translated

What you'll work on:

Practical, everyday vocabulary you'll use the same day you learn it. Pronunciation and rhythm, including the sounds that don't exist in English. The expressions, idioms, and social phrases that carry most of the meaning in Egyptian conversation. Listening practice with real speech at real speed. And enough grammar to build your own sentences, without drowning in rules you don't need yet.

How it works:

Sessions are conversation-first. You'll spend most of your time speaking, not listening to explanations. Everything is adjusted to your level, your goals, and your pace, whether you're preparing for a move, reconnecting with family, or simply curious about one of the richest spoken languages in the region.

No pressure, no judgment, and no expectation that you arrive knowing anything at all.
